  • @hippy - Race Across France - Route is provided, I am not particularly familiar with the area but it's not unknown to me (ridden about 100km of it in the past). Just aiming to finish as it's the first time I've done something like this.

    @skinny - There's bits like descending the Ventoux, I'm not enthusiastic about doing at night, but the departure schedule seems set for people to avoid that so hopefully that's fine. After that there's not much I don't want to do other than the Gorges de Verdun in the dark as I found drivers shit during the day there before.

    TBH, given it's France, a Friday into a Saturday, it's not that stressful in terms of being there, just the physical challenge.

  • Descending Ventoux at night is fine. Few cars. Wouldn't fancy Gorge du Verdon as much though.

  • Hopefully there'll be enough riders going through that drivers will be alert. That said, probably won't be riding it in the darkest part of the night, aiming to sleep somewhere before it.
